Let's face it, code can be scary!

Oh dear, no one will come to my spiel at the Colloquium now. Or if anyone comes, we'll just play your video.

Your fault, for making such a user-friendly interface !

Obviously, RC, you're going to have to bring Grumpy Cat to your presentation to try to outdo JMO's little helper.

Any chance of someone making a "syllabiser" that also adds in empty parentheses?

Ben

I've wondered about this as well.I thought I saw one a while back and used it on AOZ's psalm collection, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

@BenYanke

What might be better would be a way to hyphenate using parentheses. I just spent a good bit of polishing time removing the hyphens, anyway.

Yeah, I guess I could do it in Word, with Find and Replace. But still.

The Latin lyrics link provided does precisely that. Well, shoot!

I would have thought that the GABC transcription tool I wrote some years ago would be a bit simpler, as it supports both Latin and English, and provides a reasonably good realtime preview of what the chant will look like. The English syllabification depends on juiciobrennan's site (and was actually broken, but your video inspired me to fix it) so it can take a few seconds for it to get syllabified, but if you type in all the text before starting on the GABC, this shouldn't be a problem. It also has a generate PDF link at the upper right.

On that site, you can just type in the text in the textarea on the left, and then type in what GABC would be in parentheses on the right separated by spaces

If you need finer control, you can click "Show integrated GABC" to show the textbox with the actual GABC with all the parentheses, and in this view, pressing TAB should move the cursor to the next set of parentheses, which should also be helpful at times. Shift+TAB will move to the previous set of parentheses.
